I've decided against the MIG. It will be either a MIG/TIG combo machine or a TIG/stick. The TIG costs more. A lot more. I'll just save up longer. I don't like making big (elective) purchases on credit. I have my income tax refund, plus I'll be making a big scrap metal run sometime soon. I'm a plumber and I keep all the copper and brass that I remove, along with pretty much any other metal. I kinda go overboard with it. I have buckets of "junk" metal, buckets of electrical cord, plus about 130 garbage disposals. (copper wire in the motor). It's enough to fill up a buddy's 16' trailer. That should get me pretty close to the TIG package deal. It includes a water-cooled torch plus the cooling unit.



I'm a plumber also. Ditto on the scrap.

I corrected an earlier post about-- GAS WELDING -- it didn't make sense the way I had it
Miss LIBERTY,  changing T.K.I.  to noise, dust, rust, BLUE HATS & hopefully not scrap!!
